The use of Data:: namespace

[perlancar]

Suggestion: Data:: is typically used for modules that manipulate/process data, not for modules that contain data themselves (there is no Code:: or Program:: counterparts, for one). I suggest Locale:: or Geo::. For example I put list of Indonesian cities in Locale::ID::Locality.

First : Thanks for you suggestion. I hesitated to name the module, as my search on CPAN was quite confusing :

• The Data namespace was also used to store value (Data::Zipcode::TW)
• The Geo:: namespace seemed to be bound to spatial localisation (countries, coordinates...)
• Some use the a Postal (Postal::US::Code) or the country code (PT::PostalCode) as prefix

To be honest, I thought the Locale namespace was only used for I10n related stuff...

That being said, I know that the Data namespace is sub-optimal, but please grant me some time to see if the Locale::FR namespace gains some usage before I switch.
